Commentary on Jeremiah 19:3

Theological / Devotional

O kings of Judah. It may be that the plural is employed to include both Jehoiakim, who was then reigning, and his successor, Jehoiachin.

His ears shall tingle. This expression was first used in the OT in a prophecy foretelling the doom of the earlier sanctuary at Shiloh (1 Sam. 3:11; see Ps. 78:60), and it is introduced again here to show the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple (see Jer. 7:14; cf. 2 Kings 21:12-15).
